Tatyana Piletskaya - an actress whose biography is like a fascinating story, she felt true female happiness only after forty years;the period leading up to this was a struggle for survival, heartache and the loss of loved ones.
Life of little Tanyusha
Tatyana Piletskaya, whose films the whole country watched with enthusiasm, is a native Petersburger. She was born on July 2, 1928 in a house that previously belonged entirely to her own grandmother. After the revolution and the “seal” that followed as a result, the family of the future actress ended up in two small rooms with access to the back stairs, which only servants used to walk on. Yesterday's owners were lucky with neighbors: it was Sergei Eisenstein, whom little Tanya had never seen, and the Vasiliev brothers, masters of the film industry. At that time, the legendary directors could not even guess that Tatyana Piletskaya, an actress, a future star of Soviet cinema, who managed to conquer the Venice Festival in 1957 with her talent and beauty, lives on square meters with them. It is her that several European film studios will want to see in their films, but in the USSR it was not customary to let their artists go to work abroad. Yes, and proposals for cooperation in those days often did not reach the addressees.
Great-great-granddaughter of the famous Lancer girl
The great-great-grandmother of Tatyana Piletskaya, from whom the girl inherited strong character traits, was called Louise Graphemus. This woman was a lancer. Her husband fought against Napoleon in the Russian army, and she decided to find him. She left two children at home, changed into a male uniform, took the side of the Russian army in the corps of General Blucher, was wounded in the neck, then in the leg, lost one armand went to the boarding school in the rank of uhlan sergeant major. She found her husband, but he was killed in front of her eyes the next day. The feat of Louise in those days was enthusiastically described by newspapers, and she herself was called the second Nadezhda Durova. Then Tatyana's great-grandmother was able to marry for the third time to the printer Johann Kessenich, to whom she gave birth to several more children.
In the 40s of the 19th century, she acquired the “Red Zucchini”, famous for spending her sleepless night in it on the eve of her coming to the royal throne Catherine II. It is this institution that is mentioned in the works of Tynyanov, Lermontov, Pushkin. Louise also had a dance class, the description of which is found in Russian classics.
Perhaps this is mysticism, but Tatyana Lvovna Piletskaya made her debut on the professional stage in the wooden theater of Izmailovsky Garden, built on the very spot where her great-grandmother's dance class used to be.
At the beginning of Tatyana's career, there was cinema, with which she eventually parted and went to work in the theater. Usually the opposite happens. Her godfather advised Tatyana to go to the choreographic school, but the war prevented her from becoming a real dancer.
Piletskaya Tatyana Lvovna: wartime biography
During the war, in 1941, their school was evacuated from Leningrad to Perm; the conditions there were very difficult, but a thousand times better than in the besieged city. Tatyana, along with other students, was starving, but most of all at that time she was tormented by the thought of the fate of her relatives andloved ones.
After returning, the girl found out that her grandmother died of starvation, her brother died at the front, there was nothing left of the house. Due to German origin, his father, Urlaub Lev Lyudvigovich, who was serving a term in Krasnoturinsk, was repressed. He was released only in 1958.
In this world they were only two: Tatyana and her mother. All this grief left its mark on the mental and emotional state of the girl, who decided that she could no longer be a ballerina. After graduating from the choreographic school in 1945, Tatyana Piletskaya, whose biography is firmly connected with the theater scene, began studying in the studio at the Gorky Bolshoi Drama Theater, some time later she became an artist of the Musical Comedy Theater, and not without the help of Anatoly Viktorovich Korolkevich, a wonderful actor, enough often invited to shoot in episodic roles.
"Pirogov" - a good start for a young actress
Further, fate brought Tatyana together with Grigory Mikhailovich Kozintsev, a Soviet film director. For Piletskaya, it was an incredible stroke of luck, a kind of push into the world of the film industry. Tatyana starred in the film "Pirogov". Initially, she was given a tiny episode related to riding a horse. But Kozintsev at that time was in search of an actress for the role of Dasha Sevastopolskaya. Perhaps the young age, beauty, absolute naivety of the girl prompted him to try Piletskaya in this role. It was the first significant role in the film career of a successful actress.
Inexperienced and naive, she was on the same set with such masters of acting as Konstantin Skorobogatov, Olga Lebzak, Alexey Dikiy, Vladimir Chestnokov. Tatyana did not have a chance to attend the premiere of the film, she left with her first husband at his place of service. Later, upon her return, she congratulated Kozintsev on a successful premiere, and he gave her a stroller for a newborn baby.
Meet Vertinsky himself
Among Tatyana's admirers, who were in large numbers, Alexander Vertinsky paid special attention to himself. Not distinguished by special beauty, incredibly tall and elegant, he made a stunning impression on women. The audience took it with a bang.
Tatyana met him at one of the concerts with the light hand of her mother's friend, after which Vertinsky began to often invite her to his performances. Sometimes she went with him to restaurants and even tried julienne for the first time, from which she was completely delighted. Piletskaya Tatyana Lvovna, whose biography has both ups and downs, owes him the role of Vera in the film "Princess Mary", filmed based on Lermontov's work "A Hero of Our Time". Vertinsky handed over photographs of Tanya to director Annensky, and after long meetings of the artistic council, she was still approved for the role. After that, with the light hand of Vertinsky, Tatiana had several more good works: "Oleko Dundich", "Case No. 306", "The Bride" and, of course, "Different Fates" - a film by Leonid Lukov, which made the actress popular.
"VariousFate" - Piletskaya's key film
In this film, Piletskaya played the role of a kind of bitch and rejected the love of a positive protagonist. The portrayal of Tatyana Ogneva seemed so plausible to the directors that they transferred the heroine's on-screen bitchiness to the real Tatyana Piletskaya, so many roles simply passed by her - a woman with an "evil look". Tatyana also received her portion of dissatisfaction from viewers who wrote to her from all over the country.
Piletskaya was especially scolded by men, indignant at how unfairly and vilely they could treat an honest guy. Only one thing warmed Tatyana's soul: it means that the role was played truthfully, since people believed in it. Although letters to the actress came with other proposals: either with an offer to get married, or with a request to borrow money. She read them all and kept them to a single one.
